Disinfection Monitoring


Most disinfection devices on systems manufactured in Texas use tablet chlorination. The photo below shows the typical tablet chlorinator setup. In the last tank, there will be a white, 4” PVC pipe with a translucent blue tube. This is the chlorinator. Pull it out and add 3-4 chlorine tablets and check it monthly.

Chlorine usage depends directly on water usage. If you use more water, then you will use more chlorine. If you check at a month and the chlorine has been totally used up, add some more and check it at 2 weeks. Over time you will learn your individual schedule based on your usage.
